Hope?

You wanna talk about hope? I'm hoping for a lot of things right now, but mainly I'm just hoping I can get through the month of June.

Virgin's release is June 1, and Double Desire, my contribution to Sharing, the first Sextet Anthology for Siren, will be released June 3rd.

I'm going to the Lori Foster Get Together the first weekend in June. My hope there is that I arrive without having gotten lost. (Mapquest, don't fail me now!) Then I have an INRWA meeting the second Saturday in June.

I have revisions to Stud due June 20th. Then there are the guest blogs for Virgin throughout the month of June. To date, I've written one. Usually I'm done with them the month prior, but several are interviews. Don't have the questions yet, so I can't write them. Guess I'll move on to write the later ones first. At least I'll be ahead on something.

Then there's RWA the last week of June. I'll be missing both of my son's birthdays because they moved the event up to the end of June instead of the end of July. But they're big boys now, so I hope they'll forgive me.

I'm also hoping there aren't any bedbugs in the hotel in New York. Everyone assures me that this is a classy hotel and there won't be. Everyone but my husband, that is. He's worried that I'll bring them home with me. We're on vacation in Myrtle Beach right now, and I'd ask him for a bedbug update, but I don't want to get him started.

Anyway, I'm still writing blogs, still working on revisions. But at least I have an ocean view. Budley rigged up an office for me on the balcony so I could enjoy the sea breeze. And yes, that's an ironing board.

Oh, no! I hadn't thought of bedbugs! Absolutely loved your post this morning and the picture which proves that writers can work anywhere and anything can serve as a desk. That which does not kill us makes us stronger...you'll be trading that towel in for a Super Woman cape by the end of June!

Ha! What a post! I loved it! You look content, my dear and fabulous, too. I could hear you saying "Don't you wish you were here." And yes I do. I feel your pain of the June release, conference, and blogs because I have a July release. Which means I better get started.Amelia

Don't jump, Cheryl! I'm envious of your sea breezes, but not of your workload. My book came out in April so now I'm just writing the next book - my favorite activity. I hope you get to go out and get your toes in the sand a little bit!

Yes, Joanne, when all you have to do is write, that's almost a vacation in itself. I did make it to the beach today, and even picked up a few shells. Too rough and windy to go out in the ocean very far, though.

I am SO jealous! I love Myrtle Beach! We were supposed to go there this summer but our plans changed. :( Enjoy that gorgeous view and I hope you survive June. Me? I'm just trying to survive the next two weeks!!
